Why is the Ravenclaw symbol an eagle? Shouldn't it be a raven?

It is a raven you dipshit

For comparison.

This is an eagle.

>>79364869
No, that's a poorly drawn raven, but everything's done poorly in the Harry Potter series

It should be something dull considering it's part of the dullest franchise in history. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

like a water cooler or something

It's a metaphor
Just because you're name is a Raven doesnt mean you can't become a Eagle

what are the American house symbols?

>>79364759
Shouldn't it be an owl? Or something with the actual mythos of being wise?

>>79366280
Americans don't have them. Americans have no idea what houses are or what they represent because they all go to state schools run by businesses.

>>79364929

>>79366356
They are the same bird you fucking idiot.

>>79366280

They are literally the same species you fucking idiot. There are zero differences between crows and ravens it's all the same fucking bird like Pigeons and doves.
